The New Auto Toy Store is proud to present this 2012 Audi R8 GT 6500 miles.
The R8 GT is a lighter, more powerful, better-handling version of the Audi R8 V10 you already love. Software changes brings 560 hp from its 5.2-liter, direct-injection V10 at 8,000 rpm while torque now peaks at 398 lb-ft at 6,500 rpm. Some carbon-fiber trim front and rear, along with aerodynamic improvements such as a permanent rear wing and a double-lipped splitter in front keep the car on the ground. Power is routed through the six-speed, single-clutch R Tronic transmission with paddles on the wheel--right for upshifts, left for down. Power still goes to all four wheels via Audi's patented quattro system.
The R8 GT is a very expensive and very limited edition of Audi's supercar; only 333 were produced for the world, and a mere 90 came to America. Engineers whittled down the weight with extensive use of carbon fiber. Lightweight is the word with the R8 GT: The fixed carbon rear wing saves 11.5 pounds, the rear bumper and diffuser drop another 17.6 pounds and the thinner carbon side blades rid the body of 3.3 pounds. Besides all the carbon, a lighter battery cuts 20.7 pounds and thinner carpeting shaves 17.4 pounds. The windshield is lighter than the standard R8's, and so is the exhaust system. In all, the American version of the R8 GT saves 180 pounds over its ordinary cousin, and European models save another 40 pounds on top of that thanks to a polycarbonate engine cover and sport seats. Still, at 3538 pounds, the R8 GT bound for our shores is no flyweight.
The R8 supercar remains one of our favorite exotic machines. This more extreme GT version might just move the R8 to the top of the list for our fantasy garage. And like the rest of the R8 family, the GT is easy enough to drive nearly every day. Because it is a road car first and a track car second, the R8 GT retains all the luxuries of the standard model, including the navigation, climate-control and audio systems.
